Old tech, but not ready for retirement

It isn't as bright as I had hoped. So I bought a new lamp for it, which still is a little dim. So if you are looking for something to use in a bright room, this is not your projector. I tried two different types of screens as well thinking that might help, but not so much.

The "Dynamic" color mode seems to display the brightest, but you sacrifice some tonal value in choosing that. I opted for the "sports" mode as the best balance of brightness and tone. You need to turn the projector on and let it run for a while (about five minutes) to see the brightest levels. So note that.

There is no doubt this projector is built for every situation. It has loads of connectors, VGA, HDMI, USB and is networkable (although I didn't bother to try to network it). The audio quality is also decent and plenty loud if you plan on using it. The manual can be found easily online via a search of the model number.

The USB drive can play a slideshow of images from a flash drive with a few limited features, such as a super pixelly dissolve and a "Slide" transition. It does however, let you advance using the remote control, which is handy. In the end, slides are at their basic, are just pictures anyway so I'd say this is a valuable feature as it makes the unit self contained—no computer needed. Note that being of the era this machine is, it's picky about flash drive formats. I was unable to get my Mac to format the USB flash drive correctly for this unit to recognize it. I cranked up an old PC, formatted it there and that worked fine. I suspect the USB flash drives, when purchased new, are likely PC formatted and will work straight away. It needs to be formatted in FAT16/32. But it does work as long as you use .tiff, .bmp, .gif, .png or uncompressed .jpeg. If one format doesn't work, just try another.

All that said, if you figure you are going to be in a semi-dark room, this is a very good projector. You can just see that it is a workhorse and is built to last. They are not ready for retirement.

P.S. If you decide you want to buy a new bulb, you are looking at between $50-$80. I found many out there that were around $25, but with many complaints in the comments. So, be warned.Read full review

Not worth to buy.

I purchased this product believing that this is working product. But in reality it is not. Projector bulb has gone and Blue LCD is not working in this projector that means all the blue colours will be shown as black. Unfortunately I crossed the return period and moreover I paid Rs.8000 (INR) as Customs duty to get this faulty product in my hands. The brightness of this projector too low.. room should be pitch dark in order to see something

Thanks & Regards,

Discontinued item, great performer

I was somewhat skeptical about purchasing an item that has been discontinued, but upon reading many reviews and positive reports on this projector I bought it anyway. Upon receipt and inspection, this refurb was in perfect condition. The functionality and quality surpassed all my expectations, and I'm now using this projector in my weekly Sunday School class with excellent results. Great projector that's easy to operate.Read full review

Perfect!

Projector works great! It’s pretty sharp up close but I blew it up to the size of my wall and it’s still absolutely incredible to game/watch movies on. Super happy with it! Very quick shipping as well! Thanks again! 🙏🏼 100% worth the price!Read full review

Does the job...very well!

I bought this for my camera club, to use during competitions and presentations. We haven't 'field tested' it yet, but a quick test run in my home was fine. The ultimate goal is to make our camera club members happy with the quality of the projected images...time will tell.Read full review

What a picture, what a speaker. When you get this you're gonna need a bigger screen period.

Very happy with this model.
